Jenny Kemp‘s brightly coloured canvases are hard to miss, and some are so densely patterned that one could stare at them for hours. Biology is a central theme, and Kemp’s process is highly considered. “Biologically-inspired imagery, stemming from contemplations on our relationship to organic matter is built through lines and planes of subtly shifting hue intensities and gradations, generating form through a slow additive process of layering line work by hand that parallels growth and changeability in the natural world.” Personally, I’m drawn to the simplest canvases, ones that feature bold colour blocking and beautiful, organic shapes. “My interest in abstraction lies in its ability to satisfy my desire to create images that serve to represent unseen phenomenon.” The inner workings of the human body, realized through intricate lines and vivid colours, is quite mesmerizing.
